Hello everyone!

I hope you are doing alright during the pandemic.

We fixed some minor bugs. The major bugs we solved as:

• We made the game less hard, especially after the recent recalculation of animal HP and attack points.

We also improved some elements of the gameplay:

• We reworked the beginning of Part I, to make it easier for the player to find the first flashlight.
  
• If you kill an animal it will give you extra loot (Raw Meat).

We continued working on the parameters to make the game more equilibrated. We're not quite there yet, but we're getting close to what I want.

May you have a fine weekend.

Jurassic greetings,
BoneCollectors.

There was a bug that was only present on players using Windows 7, which caused a crash on startup. This has been corrected.

This update revamps the inventory overview and adds a watched item list. You can add and remove watched items by clicking the checkboxes in the overview. I also added 24 new food items and recipes for the kitchen to give your gnome's diet more variance.

Some time ago I changed grain producing plants to no longer produce seeds and take the grain directly as the seed item. The reason was to reduce item clutter. Turned out it just confused people and it wasn't without other problems. This update reverts that. So when you start a new game make sure you bring wheat seeds with you, or the other types for that matter.

In the update which added the willow tree I accidentally messed up old save games. Sorry for that. So this update adds some mechanic to prevent that kind of error in the future (hopefully).

To clarify, you can see if you are effected by this save game corruption if you see materials embedded in walls that shouldn't be there, like wool or wood.

Please start a new game with this update.

## [0.8.5]

### Fixed
- moved cursor calculation to game thread
- cursor detached from selection when using WASD
- going back to resume screen when selecting settings out of a running game
- container capacity on stockpiles after load
- crash because of incorrect data in save folders
- buildable carry containers
- crash because of incorrect bitmaps in gnome detail window
- user presets saving on embark
- translation string for willow tree
- willow trees are now plantable
- fish shouldn't drown anymore

### Added
- capacity info for stockpile tiles on tile info
- watched item list
- 24 new food items with recipes and kitchen integration
- button to save user presets
- glass bottle and jar
- show version on main menu screen

### Changed
- furniture can now be constructed anywhere and won't get deconstructed when a room designation underneath is removed
- redesigned inventory overview
- removed direct mapping of certain ids to databse rows, that should prevent save games breaking in the future when stuff is removed or inserted at the wrong place
- grain plants produce seeds again and need seeds for planting

Hey everyone !!
It’s been over a year since I updated Sex & Gun PC version !
First, thank you for your patience ! I’m really sorry about this, I’m aware of all the problems of optimization that the game has. Please know that I’m reworking it from scratch ! I will give an update early next year so it can work properly for everyone.

What I'm currently focusing on is more the “sex” gameplay of the game.
The first version I made is too much re-using VR “mechanics” to Non-VR, and it just doesn’t work. So I’m on a very different vision now, more animation based, with the male & female character visible instead of just the female.
I didn’t had enough time to work on it to be honest, lately I just managed to do an update on the VR version at the end of the year, where I made a “physical” based sex system.

Ok… and?
Now it’s time to test a small update and have something different than the VR version. It’s with hairs !

This end of year, the engine I’m using (Unreal Engine 4) gave us some great tools to render realistic hairs ! So I worked on our favorite character and placed her some new hairs that are very physical and natural. It’s working quite smoothly on a 1080TI, I hope it will be good for you too. They are not yet perfect but I was so excited that I wanted you to try !
I reworked the customization system to be more a PC based interface, and added some new clothes & morphs that were in the VR version.



You're a flying camera for now, you’ll move with WSAD and use the mouse to interact with the menu.
If you zoom and look fully at the character you'll have more options. You can customize the woman, animate her, change her hair, hair color, change her clothes, change the animation rating, control her private parts too, all dynamically !

I will add a trailer video on the store page soon so you can see how it works.

What’s will be on the next update ?
The priority will be to fix some issues of clothes & anim, add more clothes, show the male character (First person) and be able to start scenes with her, so she stop fucking the wind !

How to test ?
You can test his right now in the “beta branch” of the game.
You do a right click on the game in your steam list > Properties >


Then you go on Betas, click on the arrow and select "Test the latest sex system !" you'll start an update of around 3GO. If they ask a password just leave blank and continue.




Hope you’ll like it, I wish you all a great holiday season, glad that this horrible year 2020 is finally ending! I’ll see you soon ! Stay safe & healthy.

To get this update, you have to opt in inside your library:
Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select 0.21.x in dropdown.

I've been working on a new boss, even though I won't be able to complete the area for it in the game, I've decided to still release it for the holiday break. If you don't want to wait and see this boss incomplete, you can craft a spawn item in the advanced workstation and use it on the surface during the night.

I've been working on some mini biomes, the first one being spider nests which now spawns the giant cave spiders. You will have to generate a new cave to find them and more biomes like this are on the way.



2021 is coming up and for that we of course need firework. The alchemist is happy to sell you some, and you can even decide how you want it to look!

You can now tell your working settlers where to place their items and villagers to move items from one place to another. Settlements are still a heavy work in progress and some of the planned features include more jobs, threats, upkeep, settler stats and more. The goal is to make settlement building a more significant and fun part of the game.

Lastly, there are a lot of improvements and fixes. It's now possible to hold the mouse button down to craft more, reworked pathfinding, music streaming which helps load times and low memory systems, new packet handling for better multiplayer and more.

It has now been 1 year since the release of early access and the game has already had a lot of updates and over doubled in content. The scope since has expanded and there is still a lot more to work on.
Until then, happy holidays and a great new year to you all! 🎉

2 new maps to play over the festive period!
An alternate universe hive where you must fill the cells before winter ends and a hive with a built in maze to get lost in!

the performance patch is now live on the stable branch.

Now for the stable branch :)
There was a lot of input from you that end turn performance is not where it should be. FPS drop and long end turn times were reported. We have adressed this issue and managed to make some great improvements!

FPS went from 20 to 80 during end turn on a slower testing machine, end turn time went from 23 to 8 seconds on a very large map in late game.

We will continue to improve this, but the current status will be much more enjoyable! Let us know what you think.

Since this involved a complete overhaul of network and core architecture, we still can not completely rule out bugs and crashes. If you encounter anything, please report and we will fix it asap.
